Outsourcing companies in the country, however, are currently seeing attrition rates of between 15 - 30%, compared to 10% attrition in outsourcing companies in Eastern European countries 10%, and between 7.5 - 15% in China. The newspaper quotes Diana Farrell, director of the McKinsey Global Institute, an economics research firm, who said that 'high turnover, rising wages and a shortage of suitable talent in India's most popular offshoring destinations are proving to be bottlenecks'.
India is said to be blessed with some 3 million students who graduate each year - yet only 30% of this pool is thought to be immediately ready to enter the labour market and undertake roles in the country's lucrative outsourcing industry.
